CB400 - Upper Blanking Bolt

--- Quote from: tom400f on December 21, 2017, 01:18:25 PM ---No it's just a blanking bolt at the top of the drilling the push rod runs in. If you choose to push down on the end of the rod while tensioning, then as always on all these engines, just enough and no more is what you need. They used to say "gently while the noise lessens" or something like that.

All of this, yes. The problem is the 'horseshoe' under the crank burring its pivot and then sticking. You can free it off by removing the sump and going in with a broad-bladed screwdriver to push on the cast-in lug, and a bent coat hanger to pull it back again.
